Meet Captain Cod, Massachusetts' most fascinating fish-whisperer! He's not your typical old sea captain, oh no! He wears fluorescent flippers, a polka-dot pirate hat, and a rainbow-colored rubber duck for good luck. Now, the fish in Massachusetts aren't your ordinary fish. They’re as colorful and diverse as the leaves in Autumn. From the bubbling brooks of Berkshires to the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, they dart and dance in the shimmering waters, making the Bay State a fisherman's paradise! The children of Massachusetts, or the "Mini-Mass Fish Masters," as Captain Cod likes to call them, are quite the anglers! They’re an adventurous bunch who rise with the sun, eagerly grabbing their fishing rods, and exploring the state's hidden fishing spots. They have mastered the art of being still, patiently waiting for a bite, ready to reel in their catch. They don’t just catch fish, they catch laughter, memories and some incredible fish-tales! Brave little Benny from Boston once caught a two-headed trout while Clara from Cape Cod tells tails of reeling in a mermaid's purse! Then, there's Pete from Plymouth whose legendary catch was none other than a fish wearing a top hat! No Fishy business, I swear! Fishing in Massachusetts is more than a sport, it's a magical adventure. The Mini-Mass Fish Masters, under the guidance of the quirky Captain Cod, discover the joy of patience, the thrill of a catch, and the beauty of nature, one fish at a time. They are not merely fishing for sea creatures, but fishing for fun in the picturesque landscapes of Massachusetts.

For over 50 years, Frontier Camp has been dedicated to making disciples of Jesus by sharing God’s Word amidst the beauty of His creation. Since our founding in 1969, we’ve been licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services and are proudly accredited by the American Camping Association. We’re also a member of the Christian Camping and Conference Association. Our mission is to use Christian camping and outdoor recreation as a means to support local churches in fulfilling the Great Commission—evangelizing people of all ages and discipling believers toward deeper maturity in Christ. Frontier Camp offers a dual ministry: during the summer, we host a 10-week youth camp, and throughout the rest of the year, we serve as a retreat facility for churches and like-minded religious organizations. Whether through summer camps or retreats, our goal remains the same: to expose people to Christ and encourage their spiritual growth through His Word and by reflecting His character in everything we do. While we provide top-notch recreation and exciting programming, the heart of our camp is the spiritual impact, rooted in the truth of God’s inerrant Word.
